Henry Cejudo Thinks There Was “Too A lot Respect” in Strickland vs. Costa Battle
Throughout an episode of Pound 4 Pound with Cejudo and Kamaru, “Triple C” shared his perception that the Sean Strickland vs. Paulo Costa struggle was not entertaining as a result of issues bought too chummy contained in the Octagon (h/t MMAJunkie.com).
“There’s an excessive amount of respect in there contained in the cage, as a result of no person wished to essentially lose to one another as a result of they’re each trolls, that the struggle simply ended up – the final 17 seconds of that struggle is what gave the roar, however aside from that, the struggle was a snoozefest. I don’t understand how else to say it.”
Cejudo stated the struggle would’ve been higher had there been some animosity stepping into. Strickland’s UFC middleweight title struggle with Dricus du Plessis earlier this yr actually wasn’t boring, as each males scored bonuses for “Battle of the Evening.”
Generally, the UFC 302 card wasn’t precisely one struggle followers will look again on fondly.
